If you were wondering what <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCiY1y3uJ3o&amp;feature=g-all-u">type of reactions you&rsquo;ll get when you sing </a>&ldquo;Call Me Maybe&rdquo; on ChatRoulette, we have have the scientific answer: It&rsquo;s either confused, amused, or enthused to sing along.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
That&rsquo;s what <a href="http://twitter.com/SteveKardynal">YouTube prankster Steve Kardynal</a> found out when he sang the Carly Rae Jepsen hit to unsuspecting ChatRoulette users and posted the results to YouTube. The three minute video, uploaded Friday, is <a href="http://www.dailydot.com/news/youtube-videos-301-views-bug/">stuck at 301 views</a>&mdash;meaning that viewers are not yet sick of &ldquo;Call Me Maybe&rdquo; mashups.</p>
<p>
Dressed in tight bikinis or a glittery top, Kardynal discovers his feminine side while crooning the song of the summer for ChatRoulette users. The majority of reactions are pretty cool, except for the guy at 2:22 who was not amused that Kardynal took off his bikini top.</p>
<p>
The video shot to the top of Reddit&rsquo;s <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/xzr4h/this_is_what_happens_when_you_go_on_chatroulette/">popular r/videos subreddit</a>, and redditors had their hearts warmed by how ChatRoulette users enjoyed Kardynal&rsquo;s rendition.</p>
<p>
&ldquo;Some of the smiles and bursts of laughter on the left were so fucking genuine and awesome, made my day,&rdquo; <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/xzr4h/this_is_what_happens_when_you_go_on_chatroulette/c5r0pyt">wrote</a> Reddit user balanceiskey.</p>

Another user <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/xzr4h/this_is_what_happens_when_you_go_on_chatroulette/c5r17vk">wrote</a> &ldquo;we need more people spreading laughter like this.&rdquo;</p>
<p>
Perhaps the most surprising part of this story is that people are still using ChatRoulette. With people like Kardynal serenading audiences, the site might be worth another try.</p>
